Methods Layout

Dear All,
With regard to Methods Layout definition for Inter unit elimination, it is mentioned in the SEM 240 book, " specify whether you want the method to have steps. If so drag at least one characteristic to fast entry". Please advise which one is correct from the following, if i have steps in Method::
1. Selecting Characteristic in Fast Entry in the Method in layout or
2. Selecting Characteristic in Fast Entry in All Steps in layout
I feel that If we have sub steps then we should drag characteristic to all steps.
Thanks
Malani Sharma

When characteristic values to be defined are the same for all steps it is easier to define this once and not separately for all steps. Such characteristics need not be included in the fast screen. If these characteristics are included in the fast entry it will still work, it just means more configuration for each step.

Mathod Layout is a customizing tool in SEM-BCS. A method layout determines the appearance of the step hierarchy for the methods that are based on that particular method layout; it is also configuration step which characteristics and key figures from the consolidation area are used in the methods and availability of these characteristics for input.
Fast entry in the method layout is used for creating steps in the method. By creating steps, it is possible to meet specific consolidation requirements, items group wise.

A method layout without a target object causes a one-sided reclassificat.

Dear experts,
I am from BI background. I have been asked to do a testing in BCS and received the following message when I tried to generate NPAT:
A method layout without a target object causes a one-sided reclassificat.
Message no. UCF4008
Diagnosis
You have not defined a target object in the method layout.
System Response
This method will consequently perform a one-sided reclassification. It will only read records from the database with a posting level not equal to zero and will post them without a document type.
Procedure
Select the target object in order to define the method layout for a normal reclassification.
As a result, NPAT has not been generated, so can you guys help me out to understand what is happening here?
Thank you.

I think you are using this reclassification technique for reclassifying Net income and Retained earnings.
This message normal you get if
1. If you have executed reclassification task in update mode once and posted NI and RE. or
2. There is no NI or RE.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.

Calling Methods inside BPS Web Excel

Hi,
Inside the layout2.htm file of a BPS Web Excel BSP application, there is some javascript,
layout_sheet.style.height
and
layout_sheet.style.width
, which control the height and width of the input and output layout screens. The code calls the methods
<%= layout->get_width( ) %>
and
<%= layout->get_height( ) %>
. What I have done is modified the screen so it dynamically adjusts to fit both the input and output layouts into the users screen, independent of their resolution, since not everyone has the same screen resolution.
In doing some research, there is another method,
layout->set_width( )
, that allows you to set the screen size for future reference.
How is it possible to take a value from javascript and submit it to this method? I have tried to set the javascript inside the parenthesis, but I get a compilation error then.
I hope I explained this well
Cheers!!
Kevin

Hello Marc,
We modified the JS3.htm too. just to have the possibility to use an autosave function. For instance if the planner doesn't do anything for 5 mins then save
This have to be done that way because of the architecture of the Web Interface. I mean Switching between frames means having 2 autosave timer if the coding would have been in a Text component
Best regards

Add new characteristic in the currency translation method

Hi All,
I would like to know if it's possible to add a characteristic in the currency translation method in order to use it in the exchange rate determination.
Currently the available characteristic are: Country, Segment, Cons. Group, Profit Center, Company, Trading Partner, Investees, Document Type, Posting Level, Translation Indicator and Local Currency.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
João Anastácio

One way to accomplish this is to change the method layout to explicitly include the desired characteristic. Another is to make the characteristic in the breakdown category for the items where it is to be included.

Derivation of subassignments in reclass posting

Dear experts,
I faced with the following problem with Reclass posting in SEM-BCS: I've profit center as a subassignment, and during reclass posting the profit center value is not derived from the trigger. Break down category settings is requred breakdow with default value, and I have default profit center instead of the profit center from trigger.
Have youany idea what the reason could be? Could be a matter of the method layout?
Thanks in advance,
Oleg

Solved, reclass is done on 10 PL, I've restricted trigger with PL 00, 01.

Allocation of expenses

Hello All,
I had one interesting scenario from my client on allocation of expenses. This was possible using standard BCS functionality but was not straightforward. So would like to listen from you all on your solution before we discuss mine. The solution I proposed has one drawback but fulfills the requirements.
Requirement is to allocate certain expenses(X,Y and Z) to one particular item (A) for multiple "products".(Product is a sub assignment) . X,Y and Z expenses have no values for sub assignment "Product.
Rules of the game are:
1. Value in items X,Y and Z should remain as it is i.e.,no negation / reversal of these values
2.Allocation should happen based on Turnover Transaction data in combination with "Product"
2A. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in Posting Level (PL) 00,01, it should happen based on Company Turnover
2B. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in PL00,01, and there is no Company Turnover available in transaction data, it should happen based on Group Turnover
2C. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in PL10, allocation should happen based on Group Turnover.
Let me know if the scenario is not clear and needs more explanation. Looking forward for your response.
Thanks

I am much more familiar with reclassifications than allocations, but am certain the results from either can usually be obtained.
A method layout with trigger of items X,Y and Z, then different source and target is necessary. Then the specifics may be defined as needed.
It is most likely 2 allocations or reclassifications are needed because for group level allocations or reclassifications it is necessary to use posting level 30 document.

Manual Posting with Automatic Line Items

Hi Experts,
Can any body explain me how to post manual JV with FS item which we maintain in Selected Items.
Because my scenario is transfer Net Income value of a cons unit to MI P&L Account.
When i tried it with reclassification having method layout as standard it through following error:
Wrong value at automatic posting item xxxxxxxxx (Selection item maintain in Balance Sheet)
Is it correct procedure, if not give me input ASAP
Thanks
Madhu

Hi Dan,
As per your input I configured as under:
1. Method with method layout as standard which having trigger, source and target.
2. In Trigger assign NI item(which maintain in Selected Items) and then i created an FS item for source purpose which like as NI Item and assign MI account in Targer.
3. It generates document successfully with the following amounts
trigger having amount 1000 Source having NIL Target NIL
Document is Source item a/c -1000 to MI account
I think instead of taking standard layout may i customize with source and target only is it correct
Provide inputs to resolve this.
Regards
Madhu

Dr/Cr Sign-triggered Reclassification

We are trying to create a conditional reclassification with the trigger of 4 items:
State Tax Receivable, State Tax Payable, Federal Tax Receivable and Federal Tax Payable
The condition is if the net cumulative balance is >= 0.
Then the goal is to reclassify target separately for State Tax Receivable and State Tax Payable to State Tax Receivable and for Federal Tax Receivable and Federal Tax Payable to Federal Tax Receivable.
The next condition is simply the opposite for when balance is <0.
It is not difficult to reclassify all items to an individual item, but we are struggling to find a way to have a separate the target for two State items and two Federal items when the condition is met.
Any suggestions regarding this are greatly appreciated.

Dan
I would have thought you could create 2 reclass methods (2 tasks), each with 2 steps.
You need to assign Source within the method layout, so you can define what gets posted to where.
For reclass 1, you set the trigger as the 4 items, and the condition as the 4 items >0.
Step 1 move State Payable to State Receivable
Step 2 move Federal Payable to Federal Receivable
For reclass 2, you set the trigger as the 4 items, and the condition as the 4 items <0.
Step 1 move State Receivable to State Payable
Step 2 move Federal Receivable to Federal Payable
It seems the condition is at the header level, so this cannot be done within a single reclass.

Hide header in hier-seq table (CL_SALV_HIERSEQ_TABLE)

Hello SDN Community members
I am using a CL_SALV_HIERSEQ_TABLE class to display a hier-seq table.
Is it possible to hide a header in this table?
I am checking class methods, layout methods ... and so on and I see no tool to hide this header in each table of hier-seq list.
I tried to hide all columns from header, but then list becomes corrupted, loose 'graphical consistency' I would say.
I would appreciate some tips from your side.
Kind Regards,
P.

Hi Milind,
it is interesting but not necessarily helpful what people post here.
Class CL_SALV_COLUMN has a method SET_ZERO (Specify Empty Cell Display). There is a documentation which says
Specify Empty Cell Display
Functionality
By default, a zero is displayed in cells that contain no value.
You use the SET_ZERO method to set whether these rows should contain a blank instead of a zero.
Parameters
VALUE
optional
Set zeros; SAP_BOOL type
Output Constant Value
with a zero ABAP_TRUE 'X'
with a blank ABAP_FALSE ' '
Notes
Concerns:
CL_SALV_COLUMN
CL_SALV_COLUMN_LIST
CL_SALV_COLUMN_TABLE
You may try something like
METHOD grid_columns.
DATA:
    lo_salv_columns_table    TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
    lt_column_ref            TYPE salv_t_column_ref.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <column_ref>             TYPE LINE OF salv_t_column_ref.
lo_salv_columns_table = io_salv->get_columns( ).
lt_column_ref = lo_salv_columns_table->get( ).
LOOP AT lt_column_ref ASSIGNING <column_ref>.
    <column_ref>->SET_ZERO( ABAP_FALSE ).
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.

Clemens

SEM BCS: Breakdown Category & Movement Type

Hi! All,
1. how is it possible to assign a different Brekdown for Cons Unit and Cons. Profit Center....having the same role of Cons Unit..?
2.Is it a good idea to create a separate movement type...copy of 120 or just save Movement type 120 as default? Does Movement Type also need to be included in Elimination Method to facilitate elim. posting?
Thanks for your clarification.
Vict

Thanks, Eugene...
I was referring to assigning of "Breakdown Type" while creating Breakdown category, to Trading Partner and PArtner Cons.Profit Center. They have the same role of Cons. Unit in Data Model and hence, the system does not allow to assign different "Breakdown Types" to each. If
one has "Required Breakdown: Entry is forced, default not allowed", the other needs to be the same.Since I am using Dummy Profit Center for now...I wanted to use different "Breakdown Types" in breakdown category for Trading Partner and Cons. Profit Center....
2. In the Two sided Inter Unit Elimination at posting level 20, I select the accoutns to be eliminated and in "Differences"section choose Post differences to "Unit with Lowe value at KEy figure or attribute" and define the Accounts where differences need to be posted. However, when I run the Elimination Task,(Cons. Unit A, A/R say 5000, Cons. Unit B - A/P say 3000 with each being Trading Partner of the other), the result I get is that the System shows the Total Difference as 8000 and puts that in the Account specified for posting Differences. I use the Standard MEthod layout 05510...what could be the possible reason or miss in config. steps.....
I will be more precise in formulating the questions......
Thanks for your input..
Regards,
Victor

ECCS Reclassification by Partner unit for a Set of Accounts

Hello Guys,
I want to reclassify a SET OF ACCOUNTS by Partner unit.
Let say that I have 3 accounts and 2 partner unit for the same entity as follows:
Entity A
Account 1: 1000 Euros with Partner Unit a
Account 1: 500 Euros with Partner Unit b
Account 2: -2000 Euros with Partner Unit a
Account 3: -1000 Euros With Partner Unit b
SET 1: Account 1 & 2
SET 2: Account 3
I want the system to cumulate the values by Partner Unit for each SET OF ACCOUNTS and post the result to Account 4 if the result is a debit or to Account 5 if the result is a credit.
Result for SET 1:
Account 5: -1000 Euros with Partner Unit a
Account 4: 500 Euros with Partner Unit b
Result for SET 2:
Account 5: -1000 Euros with Partner Unit b
I can get this result when the source item = the trigger item but I do not manage to apply the same logic when the source item is a set of accounts...
Could you please help me finding a solution
Thank you in advance
regards
Pascal

Agreed, change the method layout (in SEM-BCS) and it will then be easy to do.
Edit: sorry just realised that you are in EC-CS, where I don't think you have the method layout (NB I don't have access to an EC-CS system).
In EC-CS You have the option to "reclassify based on debit/credit signs", which you seem to have done.
Now you need to ensure you define the triggers (your FS item set & partner) and the sources (just one FS item and partner) seperately.

Adobe Acrobat XI add line numbering on left hand side

In Adobe Acrobat XI were is the option to add line numbering on the left hand side of the page for documents?

If it is a Word document that you used to create the PDF, Then Word has the ability to show line numbers.
Two methods:
Layout Tab on Ribbon click in Line Numbers.
From Main Menu choose format Menu > Document > Layout. Click Linember button and set up as desired.
Then create your PDF.
Note this is shown using a Mac. But the same thing is in The PC version as well.

Allocation of multiple expenses in various 100% proportions

Hi
With reference to Message 843069, we would like to suggest improvement to enable multiple allocation of expenses to respective departmental segments using a single Posting Template when each expense is allocated in various proportions of 100% among its Departments.
Example
Allocation of Stationery expense (1000 00) to its Department (1000 01) 1
and (1000 02) 2 at 50% each and allocation of Postage expense (2000 00)
to its Department (2000 01) 1 at 60% and (2000 02) 2 at 40%.
We need these allocations to be saved in a single Posting Template to
create a single Journal Entry at one goal.

I am much more familiar with reclassifications than allocations, but am certain the results from either can usually be obtained.
A method layout with trigger of items X,Y and Z, then different source and target is necessary. Then the specifics may be defined as needed.
It is most likely 2 allocations or reclassifications are needed because for group level allocations or reclassifications it is necessary to use posting level 30 document.
